I don't like NPR's attitude of conflating social anxiety of meeting a random bunch of people and whether they're going to accept you with racial issues. This makes me like them significantly less.

It doesn't have to even be a politically charged opinion btw. Holding opinions like "let's not refactor this module right now" when everyone else thinks it's a great idea can quickly get you marginalized.

A whole bunch of other sites ask for your Google, etc credentials instead of using the SSO API. I've even seen some tax software ask for your Bank login. It's really a bad practice but LinkedIn isn't the worst offender.

They aren't inherently unhealthy. I wager restaurant personnel are more liberal with them than if they were deeply concerned with the health of the person eating the meal, eg. their children.

I'd like to add: if things aren't going well for you running more may not be the answer. Source: I learned all about my terrible running form that kept sending me back to physical therapy by a doctor who actually bothered to look

I wouldn't be surprised if watching these gifs somehow makes you even less likely to cook at home. Similar to the effect of salad being on the menu making it less likely that you'll make healthy choices.

It's not just fast food restaurants. Ever wonder why the food you make in the kitchen never stands up to (insert your favorite restaurant here)'s food even though you are using the same ingredients as them? Sure, they have more ex

This is a really underrated statement. All the conventional wisdom says go intervals not the treadmill slug and make fun of "cardio bunnies" at the gyms. This can be highly misleading to newcomers: turns out intervals aren't

I like: modify your setup so if it runs it is right and fast.

I routinely use the "scientific method" to debug. But usually by then it's too late: the code is too hard to reason about so I have to treat it like a blackbox and "observe" its "responses" to the "s

I'm tired of media abusing and bullshitting people's health consciousness and wanting to know what to eat. I'm even more appalled at the scientists who have no idea how nutrition works. We're down to treating the body li

Having lived in Iran, the program is not a UBI, but a "replacement" for the petroleum and energy subsidies that were provided to all. So, instead of the government paying for your gas - which subsidies consumption - the idea is to

if you know enough coding to break up and merge functions, you can also write fizzbuzz and therefore are not the type of person this article and comments are picking on.

"Engineers tend to be extroverted" Where did you get your statistics on that one?

To me the variability is too much. I can't tell at 1pm whether I a 3:30pm trip to my doctor office will cost me $8 or will there be rain and will it cost me $30. Since it's not reliable I prefer it much less. I'd rather it j

What you're describing is the norm in capitalist Western countries. Other societies have different "things to chase", basically the values of their cultures.

Decades is a long time. The internet is only 2.5 decades old and now you can click and have anything you want delivered to your doorstep. Your phone can tell you how to drive to avoid traffic. Your car already runs more software in it over

The question is does the automation create "the same number of new jobs". Disrupting certain fields like "driving" has an even larger impact. Traffic signs, traffic cops, logistics companies, ... it goes on. Or if you wa

- Programmers are increasingly more "API plumbers", not "pathfinders". The change being you have to more often create an "easy to maintain" glue layer between lots of existing code (most of which your company w

Another category of immigrants who'd benefit from such a situation is the "grad student visa" students. The US academic system (in STEM) has for too long relied on "free labor" of hard working, poorly treated grad s

Wow. What a low bar for an ICSE paper. Former software engineering PhD student.

This is exactly on par with my experience with them -- I was interviewing and a particular engineer just wouldn't let me move forward with "linked list" because he wanted me to say "queue".

A different perspective: The paper shows: (1) Humans quickly learn to avoid simple syntax mistakes after they compile code and get an error message. These messages often pinpoint the error location and suggest the fix, so this result is ha
